Training for Basketball (and Volleyball)
Dr. Michael Yessis
Many athletes who excel in basketball also excel in volleyball. One reason for this is that the training for basketball or volleyball has many similar features. Because of this, you can use some of the same exercises and training routines that are specific to volleyball for basketball, and vice versa. For example, both basketball and volleyball require the ability to jump higher. Thus, the exercises and training to improve jump height can be the same regardless of your sport. In addition . . .

Stretch And Strengthen With The Front Arm Raise
Dr. Michael Yessis
Basketball requires many overhead movements of the arms, not only for shooting, rebounding and blocking but also to get loose balls on the court.The most common exercise to stretch the muscles involved in raising the arms overhead is the elbow behind the head stretch. But, this movement is rarely, if ever, seen in game play. Because it is a static stretch you may even overstretch the ligaments and tendons of the shoulder joint predisposing it to injury. Actively stretching the muscles . . .

Are Ankle Hops Good for Speed and Quickness?
Dr. Michael Yessis
The answer to the above question should always be yes, if executed correctly. Ankle hops are great for basketball players to help improve their push-off and, as a result, increase their running speed and quickness. However, how ankle hops are executed is the key to whether they are of benefit. For example, to execute effective ankle hops, you should rely mainly on ankle joint extension to jump up and down or somewhat forward.

Is Basketball Becoming More Physical?
Dr. Michael Yessis
If you take a look at most players, especially on the professional and to a good extent on the collegiate men levels, you'll see that most players are becoming not only taller and bigger, but also stronger and more physical in their play. There are exceptions to this as there are still some excellent small players but whose roles are distinctly different from the big men. . . .

With Poor Technique Expect Injuries
Dr. Michael Yessis
Many men's University basketball teams have players go down with injuries in their most important games.

What is Dynamic Correspondence?
Dr. Yessis
The term 'dynamic correspondence' is being seen more frequently in the literature. But with every appearance it seems that the authors are using a slightly different interpretation of the term. Rather than examining what others are saying it may be more effective to examine what was meant by this term by the person who coined the term. . . .

How Do Teams Prepare for the Next Game?
Dr. Yessis
From what can be determined in the papers and from comments made by players, commentators and coaches, there appears to be a set routine with possibly some modifications. For example, in baseball there is typically practice in the AM and game play in the PM. The practices may consist of some stretching, fielding and hitting. Individual players may look at videos of previous games or individual players so that they can better prepare against them. This is usually done by pitchers and catchers. . . .

The Pull-Up
Dr. Yessis
The pull-up and chin-up are often considered to be identical exercises with the pull-up usually considered as the more difficult.

Dr. Yessis
The latissmus dorsi covers a very wide area of the lower half and upper sides of the back. In the front lat pull-down the entire muscle is involved with emphasis on the lower half.
